Early pioneer, Theodore O. Williams, letter to Albert Wist, regarding the early history of Washington Territory and conflict between the tribes of the Puget Sound and the Cowichan Tribe of Vancouver Island, March 13, 1904

Kitsap was a war chief of the Suquamish Tribe from the late eighteenth to the first half of the nineteenth century. Under Kitsap in 1825, various tribes of the Puget Sound allied together to fight the Cowichan tribes of Vancouver Island who had often raided Puget Sound tribal villages. However, in conflict with the Cowichan, the Puget Sound tribes suffered heavy casualties at sea.
